Fake consultant.com Emails Being Sent by Scammers

Over the past 3 months, I have received hundreds of emails which ask me to contact someone at consultant.com. The email below is just one of the latest emails being sent by scammers who are attempting to trick me into sending them personal information and money. Most of the scammers sent to me are advance-fee, lottery and inheritance, which ask me to send money in order for me to receive some funds and prizes. But, I know once I am being asked to send money in order to receive a prize or money, I know it is a scam.

Therefore, I would recommend that online users beware of fake emails from consultant.com, especially those that ask for personal information or money.
